Let's go ahead and get this flame thread started now to save time.
The CentOS team sucks ... it took XXXX days to do 6.1 ... it is going to take twice as long to get 6.2
My mom said CentOS blows.
kbsingh is ugly.
hughesjr is old and fat.
OK ... that should do.

I think this was an attempt at humour, but it didn't work very well. :)

For a second I thought it was a sarcastic troll. Then I saw Johnny's name on the email. It gave me a smile and a chuckle.
Seriously tho folks. Please let's not get into that flaming thread yet again. :)

Au contraire, I thought it was hysterical. True, it was more blatantly ad hominem than the thinly veiled "centos lucks for being late" messages this list has seen in the past 12 months, but the best defense is a good offense, no?

I think the moon is made of blue cheese. These types of conjecture are useless.

OK, thanks. A simple '6.1 has been released' would have done, though :-)
Cheers,

come on Johnny, there are still plenty of people that appreciate the work you guys do and are happy to see 6.1 released. Please give us first a chance to say "thank you so much!"
I understand that it is frustrating to release CentOS 6.1 right after RedHat release 6.2 so you can't even allow yourself to relax a bit (and knowing you guys you HAVE to keep up, not because of the complainer, but because of your pride in what you are doing and its results).
Thanks for the work on 6.1!

Hi Louis,

Indeed, and since I omitted that in my last post (I probably was too busy chuckling), I'd like to chime in here. From what little seeped through to the outside, this time it was a Herculic task to keep up with upstream, and they did it - again.
Thank you very much, all of the team.
Peter.

not to mention the holidays... give yourselves a break and have some fun. We'll all still be here come spring! :)
A big thank you to the CentOS team for the 6.1 release. And nice to see that there will be a CR repo again. See you all at FOSDEM2012.

This body part will be downloaded on demand.
Haha :-). Made me laugh.
In all seriousness though, I would just like to say:
Thank you CentOS team for the work you put in, I'm updating my Grandma's PC to 6.1 now (from 6.0 CR enabled) :-), So again:
Thank You :-).

It made me laugh too. Although it does ring a bell.
My suggestion would be to, at least for the first part, count the number of packages and once a week or two release percentage of built packages. that would give the "feel of progress" to all concerned. And since most likely the large number of packages will build in first several build attempts, progress would be visible to anyone.
And I do know complicated packages are lest for last and prognoses can not be made for those.

6.2 should arrive really fast, believe me ! and if you use the CR repo, you should already be up-to-date, all updated packages are going to be soon in it before the complete tree is built for 6.2 !
